BOTTLE 030: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Dimple Pinch 15 Year Blended Scotch Whisky 🥃 at 80 💦 🇺🇸 “IF GOD BLESS THE USA HAD A SCOTTISH BABY WHILE BREAKING BAD” 🇺🇸 🎺 Cue trumpet. Cue slow-motion waving flag. Cue bald eagle with a GoPro. Friends… patriots… lovers of questionable life choices… you never know what you’re gonna get when my buddy Michael stops by. Last time it was bourbon. The time before that, he built a half-scale Statue of Liberty out of Slim Jims and LEGO #friends #whiskytubefamily #1000subscriber #1000subscribers #whiskeyfun #whiskey #whiskyforthepeople #whisky #alcohol #bourbon . Tonight? Oh, sweet land of liberty, we’re heading to Scotland for a taste of The Dimple Pinch 15-Year — the official whisky of “I’m too sophisticated for Bud Light but still want to wake up in my neighbor’s hammock.” This beauty is a blend of ~30 malt and grain whiskies, born from the oldest Scotch whisky distillery in the world (founded in 1627 — back when America was still arguing about how to spell “color” and the plague was the original party crasher). Now it’s owned by Diageo, who sell enough Scotch to flood the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool. Twice. The bottle? The legendary dimpled triangle introduced in 1893 — shaped so perfectly it could be used as a backup weapon by Liam Neeson in Taken 5: Pinch Harder. 🛫 TASTING FLIGHT 93 🛫 The nose: a soft peat breeze that gently whispers, “Hello, freedom,” followed by… DANDELIONS. Yes, the flower. Unexpected. Unapologetic. Like when Walter White shaved his head and we all pretended it was normal. The palate? Graham crackers, honey, pepper, grain, and a fruit note so delicate it could make Peter Griffin weep into a plaid kilt. The finish? Short-to-medium, like the TSA line at a small-town airport… but without the pat-down (unless you’re into that). 💥 THIS IS SCOTCH FOR AMERICA 💥 At $40 and 40% ABV, this isn’t the bottle for your hardcore Islay peat-freak. This is for the occasional drinker, the barbecue patriot, the “I watched Breaking Bad three times but still don’t understand the chemistry” crowd. It’s mellow. Approachable. It’ll hug you like a flag-waving grandmother who just discovered Fireball. Picture this: You pour a dram, take a sip, and suddenly Lee Greenwood’s voice is in your head singing, “And I’m proud to be a Scotch drinker…” just as Saul Goodman bursts through your door yelling, “Better Call Saul… because you just committed a flavor felony.” Now answer me this: What’s YOUR favorite Dimple Pinch expression? And if Gus Fring opened a Chick-fil-A, would you eat there, or would you just assume every sandwich was a front? 🔥 LIKE. SHARE. SUBSCRIBE. Let’s get to 250 before the bald eagle circles back for round two. Much love. Stay weird. Stay loud. Stay free. 🥃🇺🇸 ⸻ 📺 FAKE TV COMMERCIAL OUTRO 📺 🎶 Bagpipes wailing over a roaring electric guitar 🎶 ANNOUNCER: “The Dimple Pinch 15-Year — for those who love freedom, flavor, and bottles shaped like medieval artillery.

I channeled my inner Heisenberg and grabbed this off the shelf. Its a 15 yr blend for low $30's so expectations were not high. Poured neat nose is light fruit, gummy malt, heather and some green tea with a wispy smoky barrel. Palate comes in with surprising refinement at price point. Rich malt, buttery oak with a smidge of char alongside hints of gentle speyside fruit. Finish is standard malt and oak fade with lingering char and dare I say a drop of earthy peat. Its slightly drying but stops short of bitter. The magic here is the lack of grain alcohol nastiness. You can tell its there but its held in check with the ageing/quality of the juice I guess. Its not deep complex flavors that make you want to write a memoir but its tasty with a real cool bottle and I hate to say it but yeah its smooooth. Thats tough to get to for a grain blend. Kinda reminds me of Aberfeldy 12 a little. I would easily repurchase this friendly age statement blend.....86/100.....guess Walter was on to something

Super smooth 15 yo blend. There are notes of malt, pie crust, honey, a small bit of smoke, and a bit of vanilla. I am sure this is designed to be a "middle of the road" blend; and, it succeeds very well at that. If you are a single malt drinker with strong preferences in your taste profile, this probably is not for you. However, it is smooth, well-balanced, and very tasty in the middle path of Scotch. This tends to run around $40-45 in my area. Honestly there are 10-12 yo single malts in that price range I prefer. However, I was able to get my current bottles from Florida (I live in MO) and with shipping it was $30 per bottle. At that price this is indeed a very pleasant dram. By the way, I have drunk Pinch off and on since my college days in the early 70's.

Dimple Pinch a blended scotch, is from the Haig Brothers company, and just as Haig Club which is a single grain, is not an amazing whisky. I hoped for more, specially since it is a 15 year old. On the nose it tries to be special but it didn't accomplish it. Hints of smoke (specially if you smell the whisky in the bottle once opened), with a weak vanilla, apple and a very hidden grape aroma. On the palate it is so hot that you cant feel any other notes than the hotness, and the ending is the best part, nothing special, but long and a little spicy. It could be labeled as "ordinary".

This deserves to be in everyone’s cupboard. My grandparents loved Dimple & after enjoying a bottle of the 12yo given to me as a gift, I bought a bottle of the 15yo. It’s quite the step up. Very easy to drink & uncomplicated, but still maintains fruity citrus notes on the nose, a little spice on the tongue and a lingering creamy finish. For a midweek sip or a casual couple of glasses with company this will tick all the boxes. It’s good enough on it’s own, but not so expensive that you wouldn’t enjoy it in a cocktail or with a mixer.

This is great. Expecting worse reading the reviews, but still ordered it because I’ve literally never heard of this before tonight. A very pleasant scotch blend, lots of sweet vanilla and caramel notes throughout so I’d definitely start people on this if they were scotch newbies. Smooth, sweet, and floral - I personally would enjoy a little more peat but there is a bit there if you hunt for it. Not super complex but I’d call it a very enjoyable “session” whiskey for any occasion.
